Some temporary symbols are created by MC itself. These symbols are never used
for lookup and are never included in the object symbol table, so we can
avoid creating a name for them.
Other temporaries are created by CodeGen or by the user by explicitly asking
for a name starting with .L (or L on MachO).
These temporaries behave like regular symbols, we just try to avoid including
them in the object symbol table, but sometimes they end up there:
const char *foo() {
return "abc" + 3;
}
will have a relocation pointing to a .L symbol.
It just so happens that almost all MC created temporary has the AlwaysAddSuffix
option and CodeGen/user created ones don't.
One interesting future optimization would be to use unnamed symbols for
all temporaries, but that would require use an st_name of 0 or
having the object writer create the names if a symbol does end up in the
symbol table.
No testcase since this just avoid creating a few extra names for MC created
temporaries.

Now that we have a dedicated type for ELF symbol, these helper functions can
become member function of MCSymbolELF.

This create a MCSymbolELF class and moves SymbolSize since only ELF
needs a size expression.
This reduces the size of MCSymbol from 56 to 48 bytes.

There is no MCSectionData, so the old name is now meaningless.
Also remove some asserts/checks that were there just because the information
they used was in MCSectionData.

.safeseh adds an entry to the .sxdata section to register all the
appropriate functions which may handle an exception. This entry is not
a relocation to the symbol but instead the symbol table index of the
function.

shrinking the Size and NumDefs fields to offset the size growth, and
reordering the fields to preserve a good packing.
This is necessary in the short term for adding a convergent flag, and
simultaneously future-proofs us against more flags being added in the
future.

Both MCStreamer and MCObjectStreamer were maintaining a current section
variable and they were slightly out of sync. I don't think this was observable,
but was inefficient and error prone.
Changing this requires a few cascading changes:
* SwitchSection has to call ChangeSection earlier for ChangeSection to see
the old section.
* With that change, ChangeSection cannot call EmitLabel, since during
ChangeSection we are still in the old section.
* When the object streamer requires a begin label, just reused the existing
generic support for begin labels instead of calling EmitLabel directly.

This broke the llvm-mips-linux builder and several of our out-of-tree builders.
Initial investigations show that the commit probably isn't the problem but
reverting anyway while I investigate.

Previously, subtarget features were a bitfield with the underlying type being uint64_t.
Since several targets (X86 and ARM, in particular) have hit or were very close to hitting this bound, switching the features to use a bitset.
No functional change.
The first several times this was committed (e.g. r229831, r233055), it caused several buildbot failures.
Apparently the reason for most failures was both clang and gcc's inability to deal with large numbers (> 10K) of bitset constructor calls in tablegen-generated initializers of instruction info tables.
This should now be fixed.

Summary:
Following on from r209907 which made personality encodings indirect, do the
same for TType encodings. This fixes the case where a try/catch block needs
to generate references to, for example, std::exception in the
.gcc_except_table.
This commit uses DW_EH_PE_sdata8 for N64 as far as is possible at the moment.
However, it is possible to end up with DW_EH_PE_sdata4 when a TargetMachine is
not available. There's no risk of issues with inconsistency here since the
tables are self describing but it does mean there is a small chance of the
PC-relative offset being out of range for particularly large programs.
